ICC World Test Championship Final: WATCH- Pat Cummins Kicks The Ball In Frustration After His Another No-Ball Denies Him Shardul Thakur's Wicket


India and Australia meet in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) at the Oval, England. The game was dominated by the Pat Cummins-led team on the first two days as they hit and pitched amazingly well.

But after being 151/5 on the Stumps on Day 2, India staged a great comeback in the opening session of Day 3 as Ajinkya Rahane (89) and Shardul Thakur showed great courage and stamina and batted beautifully to keep their side in the hunt.

Both batsmen shared a bit of luck with Australia dropping a few sacks early in the day. Even though the catches were ruled out, skipper Pat Cummins threw his heart out and tested the duo with excellent lines and lengths. But he was disappointed in himself after the mistake he made.

Pat Cummins caught Shardul Thakur at lbw at lunchtime hit and the umpire gave him an out. But to his disappointment, it was a no-ball when he stepped out of line and the batter survived. He didn’t express his frustration right after that. But he was visible at the last dance before lunch.

As Shardul Thakur defended the last ball, Pat Cummins kicked the ball away in frustration. He was extremely disappointed in himself, as it was not the first time he had taken a no-ball wicket in this match. Something similar happened last day when he caught Ajinkya Rahane without a ball, but he threw a ball without a ball.

Here is the video of Pat Cummins kicking the ball around in frustration:

Ajinkya Rahane batted exceptionally well under tremendous pressure in the all-important WTC final against India. He rescued India from trouble with his outstanding punch. He came to bat as India reeled at 50/3 and then helped them avoid the follow-on.

Ajinkya Rahane showed great determination against Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland and made sure to set the stage on fire in her return. She made a crucial association with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur. He finished with the 89-run strike from 129 balls to move India closer to Australia’s score.
